The hinges on the lift gate window on my 2004 ford explorer broke causing the rear window to fall out of the window frame. Ford motor company told me that there is a recall for the problem on the 2002 and 2003 models but were not "aware" of any similar problems with the 2004 model.
Tl* - the contact owns a 2004 ford explorer. The rear hatch lift near the rear window cracked. The dealer would not repair the window because the vehicle was out of warranty. The failure mileage was 56,400. The door ajar light flickered on and off until the hatch was pushed and then the light would stop flickering.
Automatic windows - rear windows - motor went out - replaced once - doing it again, have to take it back in. Rear air system does not blow out heat. Again, needing to take it in again. Had I not gotten the extended warranty on my vehicle I would be without rear heat.

Complete failure of the gauge pod, radio, interior lights, power windows at 2,300 miles. No speedometer, odometer, tach, fuel gauge, temp, oil, battery, radio (nothing in the dashboard functions except the airbag light). *ak ford dealer in allentown pa was very rude and went out of their way to not work in a timely manner and keep us in the dark. Drove vehicle to texas (with no gauges) to dealership where purchased. At the shop right now. Transmission also hesitates excessively between shifts.
Car was parked in a driveway with rear window towards garage door. The back window of the car along with a piece of the actual door exploded off.
